213794P.pdf   11/10/2022  Rachael Danker  v.  The City of Council Bluffs
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3794
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Western   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Kobes] 
   Civil case - Dog law. In a challenge to the City of Council Bluffs 
   ordinance prohibiting pit bulls, the district court did not err in 
   rejecting plaintiffs' equal protection and substantive due process claims 
   as the ordinance is rationally related to the City's legitimate 
   governmental interest of protecting public health and safety; while the 
   City's decision to ban pit bulls may result in some inequalities, this 
   does not make the ordinance irrational; because the dog owners failed to 
   negate every conceivable basis for the ordinance's rationality, the 
   ordinance satisfied rational basis review and substantive due process 
   analysis.
